Any stranger coming to New York Just
now has a perfect right to think that all the
well dressed women are in a rage. A scowl,
or at least look Of indignation, Is deemed
very good form. And whyi Because. my
dear, the ladies N Of the half world have
gone in for the excessively polite and really
courteous women are afraid of being misun-
derstood. A great amount of thanksgiving
comes from the half women when a man puts
their fares in the stage box, and as for giving
one of them a seat, the sighs and exclama-
tions and protestations are almost as over
whelming as the perfume of pachouh or white
rose that is all over every place. 1t Is really
very funny, and when there are no men
about-for instance, in an elevator at large
shop-they are equally effervescing to women.
"My dear madam, trust am not crushing
you" and "My dear madam, will you kindly
allow me to passp said like honey tastes, so
overwhelms the ordinary woman, who has
found Excuse me" sufficient for most times,
that she is absolutely driven to silence TO
defend hersslf
But the reason for scowling Is found in the
continued impertinence of men-at least men
by courtesy. From Fifth avenue and Thirty
fourth street down to Broadway and Nine
teenth street one Is never certain if one smiles
that man may not smile back, and in very
offensive way. A minutes stop to buy a
flower. minute TO look i'm a window, and woe
betide you, If one Of those horrid creatures be
near. Really, the police might put a stop to
them, for no woman, indeed no school girl Of
the most frivolous type, could be anything but
displeased at their glances, presumably of ad
miration. The stolid dude is so much greater
comfort that one longs for him, even if he
commits such a betise as sucking his cane. Out
of town people will conclude the New Yorl
woman is ferocious, but, indeed, she has the
best reason for itself protection -"Bab" ii
